KUALA LUMPUR: Traffic on several major highways nationwide was slow this morning due to increased vehicle volume, as well as accidents and breakdowns. A Malaysian Highway Authority (LLM) spokesman said congestion stretching up to 7km was reported on the North-South Expressway (PLUS) E1 southbound from Changkat Jering to Kuala Kangsar following an accident at KM231.4. “Clean-up works are ongoing and the right lane remains blocked,” he said when contacted. He added that traffic on the PLUS E2 was slow from Setia Tropika to Dato’ Onn. Delays were also reported from Sedenak to Senai Utara due to a stalled vehicle at KM22.8 southbound, which is blocking the emergency and left lanes. Traffic entering Malaysia from Singapore via the Johor Causeway was also slow, from the Woodlands customs, immigration and quarantine (CIQ) complex to the Sultan Iskandar CIQ in Johor Bahru. Slow-moving traffic was also reported on the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP) northbound from Puchong Utama to Puchong Intan.
